There are also non-medical costs involved in cancer treatment
According to a recent study, these costs can weigh heavily on chemotherapy patients
In South Africa, the cost of cancer treatment is very high, and a study conducted in 2020 to estimate the cost of chemotherapy in the public sector arrived at a whopping R15 774 as the average care cost per patient. This was per episode of care at Groote Schuur Hospital for breast cancer.
Although the high cost of cancer treatment tends to be the focal point of many research papers, there are other non-medical costs that also need to be taken into consideration. A new study by the University of East Anglia (UAE) was the first to investigate non-healthcare costs when undergoing chemotherapy.
